2008 Fishing Trips

I am trying to come up with my possible fishing trips for the remainder of this year. I originally had planned to go to Colorado for 1 week in September, but I am putting that trip on hold until next year. I am looking to take two - 3 or 4 day fishing trips before the year is out. A couple options are the following:

Northern Ohio for SteelheadCumberland River FloatWestern North Carolina Trout TripWhite River in Arkansas

I may even get a couple more trips in there while on business travel. I have a trip to Northern Arizona coming up in late July, so maybe I can hit up Oak Creek in Sedona. Maybe I could get an extra day and hit up the Colorado River below Glen Canyon Dam. Just a couple options.

I do know that with rising gas prices I am going to take advantage of the Clinch since it is close, and probably a few trips to the mountains. I have always been partial to the Cataloochee portion of the Smokies.

So, I am asking for your help. Please choose one of the 4 trips above in the

I Am A Fishing Fanatic

An engineer by day, you will find me at my desk or at home dreaming about my next fishing adventure. My favorite method of pursuing the various species that inhabit my East TN waters is with a fly rod, but I can be found flinging hardware with a baitcast or spinning reel. I began flyfishing around 1995 at an age of 15, and learn something new each trip. I enjoy the time outdoors with friends and family, and I especially value the time I have with my wife and kids fishing and camping. My job can be a hectic one, and I have found that the most effective escape I have from the stress is to pick up a rod and disappear for a while. I have two wonderful kids who enjoy being outdoors with daddy whether it be hiking, hunting, fishing, or whatever journey we are on at the time. I look forward to taking both of my kids fishing and hunting, and trying to be as good of a father to them as my dad was to me. This blog is my attempt at documenting the various experiences we have, and to record them for my kids as they grown older. God Bless and Tight Lines.
